Just had dinner on the patio with beautiful daughter, gorgeous grandaughter and son-in-law and been treated to a 20 minute display by a Spit T9, Hurricane 1 and 109 Buchon. The Spit and the Messerschmitt are based at Sywell, just down the road so we see them very regularly but the three together against a clear blue sky was something else again.

Talking of Ospreys, have you seen them at night with rotor tip lights? The first time I saw one was when I was driving home and suddenly I saw these two big green circles and red flashing lights crossing in front of me. I was somewhat unnerved until I realised what it was!

No, but put "Osprey at Night" into google for loads of pics.............................

A little before the southerly going track turns west, after take-off, near enough to over us. As it is winter, a bit too dark to see anything. I still haven't been invited for a flight despite talking to the flight crew in a pub, The Bog, Irish of course!
